Dear All,
My sister has been diagnosed with lung cancer (non small cell) stage 4 in January 2026.
Currently in hospital, treatment (immunotherapy only option) has been refused by oncologist due to poor pt performance (she is ps3)...
Does anyone know private oncologist who may have different approach and try immunotherapy on pt with ps3?
Thank you
